    To solve this, find out how to register a protest vote and do that. Not voting is ambiguous, as is spoiling your ballot paper. What you need is a formally recognised way to vote “None of the above” or something similar, so that your intent is 100% clear.

      I really wish election day was a holiday and voting was mandatory.

      Could vote “none of the above” but had to hand in a ballot.

        Intentionally filling out the ballot incorrectly which results in it being thrown out.

      Here (the Netherlands) you can simply turn in a unmarked ballot and it will be counted as a blank vote.
